Brooke Hogan Raises Suspicions and Questions About Hulk Hogan's Death

Brooke Hogan, the daughter of the late Hulk Hogan, has expressed suspicions about the death of the WWE Hall of Famer.

After fighting numerous health issues in his post-wrestling career, Hulk Hogan died at 71 on July 24 of last year. His cause of death was ruled as an acute myocardial infarction, more commonly known as a heart attack.

Following Hogan's death, medical records showed that he had suffered from lymphocytic leukemia and had a history of atrial fibrillation.

During a recent appearance on the "Bubba the Love Sponge Show" (h/t WrestlingInc.com), Brooke raised suspicions about her father's death. She questioned why a private doctor was used to sign his death certificate.

"It's almost like you have to be skilled in the art of doing it to get away with it," Brooke, 38, said. "And it's not just because he's famous. Because if there's nothing to hide, then there's nothing to hide. It's the premeditated, like already knowing to call the private doctor down to sign his time of death versus the guy that's on duty at the ER would normally do it, right?

"And what's crazy about that is, if that doctor - allegedly, maybe, don't know it to be true - gave him anything, by him signing off and saying it was a natural death, well, that closes the case. We all wipe our hands, and it goes away. There's no investigation."

Brooke dropped another startling revelation: They haven't been able to get in contact with the nurse who had taken care of Hulk before his death, and attempts at communication have been unsuccessful.

She also said that Hulk passed away while the nurse was occupied with another errand.

"If you wanted to go and get information on what happened that day or ask the nurse, he's disappeared. He's scared. You can't get a hold of him. Nobody can get a hold of this guy that was there. He was the only other person that was there the day my dad died. And Sky (Daily, Hogan's wife) was the only person there. And apparently, from what I've been told, the nurse was upstairs fixing the toilet or doing something like that.

"And coincidentally, while he's gone, my dad just passes, and Sky is the one to notice that he stopped breathing. Now, if you wanted to go get the autopsy, they've hired a private doctor to do the autopsy. So, private doctor to sign off on the death, private nurse, and private autopsy doctor - I can't get anything."

Brooke also said that there have been numerous changes to her father's autopsy.

Brooke and Hulk Hogan Stopped Speaking Two Years Before His Death

During an interview with Us Weekly in April, Brooke revealed that she ended communication with her father two years before his passing. Brooke didn't trust some of the people in Hulk's inner circle, and said he wasn't there while she was pregnant with her two twins.

She also didn't attend her father's funeral, stating that she decided to honor him with a family beach day.
